Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at fjordalmond confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at aspenclipper suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at derbycobra continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at gumboacorn reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.
